She's Out of My League (2010)
Jay Baruchel and Alice Eve star in this romantic comedy from the writer of Hot Tub Time Machine (2010). Boy meets girl and you can probably work out the general gist of the rest of it from the title.
As a genre romantic comedy is home to some of the worst bilge Hollywood puts out, the same film made over and over again with few variations in the details and often mind numbing execution. Amazingly this is one of the lucky few attempts that manages to rise above the usual genre disappointments and is actually pretty good. There are some really funny moments along the way and the plot is not as shallow and stupid as you often come across. Obviously there is not a ton of originality involved in this film but it stays clear of the usual genre pitfalls.
3/5 who knew there were watch-able romantic comedies out there.
